SPECIFICATION formng part of Letters Patent No. 432,833,'dated July 22, 1890.

Application fi led .Tune 2, 1890. Serial No. 353,981. (No model.)

To all whom ic' may concrn:

Be it known that I, RICHARD MOONEY, a citizen of the United States of America, resid- State of Pennsylvania, have invented eertai n new and useful Improvements in XVheels, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my nvention is to provide a wheel with a removable supplenental hub, so that When one hub becomes worn and useless it can be replaced easily With a new hub to render the wheel as servieeable again as a new one.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a side eleVation, and Fg. 2 a Vertical section, of the wheel. Fig. 3 is a side View of the removable hub, and Fig. 4 a side View of the hub.

In the drawings, b represents the felly, b' the spokes, and c' the main hub. The felly and spokes may be of any ordinary form. The main hub is chambered out at `c, and has an openingl extending through it. The Supplenental hub (l is inserted in this opening and a flange t on said hub d fits the chamber or recess n the main hub, the outer surface being flush.

The supplemental hub is bored out to receive the shaft g. The exterior form of the supplemental hub is square, and over the projecting end is slipped a collar e, which fits up against the sides of the main hub c' and the fiange on the supplemental hub. All the parts are held together by bolts 2, passing through the main hub and eollar and through notches in the flange. i

It Will be readly seen that the Supplemental hub may be easily removed and a new one put in its place.

The oollar may be, if desired, cast With the supplemental hub.

I claim as my invention- In combination, a wheel having a chambered main hub, a supplemental hub having a fiange t', adapted to said chamber, a collar e, and bolts for holding all the parts together, substantialiy as described.

In testimony whereo'f I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

RICHARD MOONE Y.
